I am very happy to have taken a chance and picked this up. Malipiero's string quartets are tonal and full of drama, yet avoid bland melodies or redundancy. In listening to these 8 works I was reminded a little of Bartok's first two quartets (before the full-on angular innovations), as well as the Debussy/Ravel quartets (Malipiero apparently spent a bit of time in Paris). While it would be debatable to suggest these works are in the same league as those, listeners who enjoy this medium with occasional dissonant spice will warm to these.If you want to compare, I will be posting another set of these Quartets by Quartetto d'Archi di Venezia in due time
I don't have any other performances to compare to, but the Orpheus String Quartet sound committed and the sonics are clear and well-balanced. It's a bummer these seem to go in and out of print because they deserve a wider audience.410 @ Amazon.com
